Summary: Kurt and Blaine are the perfect match - according to their test scores. Reality looks a little bit different.
In this world, your spouse gets picked for you by the government. Kurt is a boy with big dreams and Blaine is McKinley High’s resident bad boy. This is the story of what happens when they’re suddenly thrown into each other’s lives.
Review:
Ah, arranged marriages--the good old trope that gets me every time. Forcing two people who barely know each other to permanently commit to spending their lives together. What a brilliant recipe for a wonderful romance tale.
Take that, add a dash of badboy, a handful of unlikely friendship, a heaping of romance and a sprinkle of unresolved sexual tension, and you know you're in for a hella good ride.
This is the story of the growth between two people who we would never expect to grow together, the story of two boys discovering what it means to be together, the story of a relationship determined by the system but destined by fate. It's about coming to accept your circumstances and look at them positively, despite the lack of freedom that they hold. It's about learning to look past the exterior and into the heart, as closed off as it may be. It's about growing up and growing into yourself.
But mostly, it's a tale about love.
